CORO1C
This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. [provided by RefSeq]
Full Name
coronin, actin binding protein, 1C
Function
Plays a role in directed cell migration by regulating the activation and subcellular location of RAC1 (PubMed:25074804, PubMed:25925950).
Increases the presence of activated RAC1 at the leading edge of migrating cells (PubMed:25074804, PubMed:25925950).
Required for normal organization of the cytoskeleton, including the actin cytoskeleton, microtubules and the vimentin intermediate filaments (By similarity).
Plays a role in endoplasmic reticulum-associated endosome fission: localizes to endosome membrane tubules and promotes recruitment of TMCC1, leading to recruitment of the endoplasmic reticulum to endosome tubules for fission (PubMed:30220460).
Endosome membrane fission of early and late endosomes is essential to separate regions destined for lysosomal degradation from carriers to be recycled to the plasma membrane (PubMed:30220460).
Required for normal cell proliferation, cell migration, and normal formation of lamellipodia (By similarity).
Required for normal distribution of mitochondria within cells (By similarity).
Isoform 3:
Involved in myogenic differentiation.

Cellular Location
Cytoskeleton; Endosome membrane; Cell membrane; Ruffle membrane; Lamellipodium; Cell cortex. All isoforms colocalize with the actin cytoskeleton in the cytosol, and especially in the cell cortex (PubMed:10828594, PubMed:19651142, PubMed:25074804). Colocalizes with F-actin at the leading edge of lamellipodia. Partially colocalizes with microtubules and vimentin intermediate filaments (PubMed:10828594, PubMed:19651142, PubMed:25074804). Localizes to endosome membrane tubules/buds (PubMed:30220460).
Isoform 3: Cytoskeleton; Sarcolemma; Cell membrane; Sarcomere; Synapse; Cell cortex. Colocalizes with the thin filaments of the sarcomere and with the postsynaptic area and the junctional sarcoplasm of motor end plates. Colocalizes with the actin cytoskeleton in the cytosol, and especially in the cell cortex.
